Much is made of this, but I find that training an aggressive dog is much the same as training any other dog, with the exception that you need to protect yourself and others from possible injury. But, the mechanics of training a dog to do a particular behavior on command are virtually the same. The one thing that I do not do is use aggression against aggression. It never really works, because aggression never really goes away. The object is to give the dog skills and teach him enough self control that he does not cave to his triggers. Comments?
